Frame blocks are cheap enough that you might be able to cut a set diagonally on a band saw to get closer to that seat cluster. You obviously wouldn't be able to spin it on the tubing... just clamp it, Jed. That and the wooden dowel suggested above may get most of the bulge out.

Bikes: they change so much I'm tired of updating this
I’m not giving up on this one, I’ll do what I can to make it road worthy and just keep it. I wouldn’t feel comfortable selling it or junking it.

In point of fact, my quote is the third line of the Ranger Creed. @RobbieTunes and @sloar are Marines. I was Army.

And I have the tab. We had no snooper/pooper school, so we had to go to yours.....and the squids'...and it seemed like everyone else's... They're building one now, but the mixmaster method worked well enough.
